She was supposed to be dead. Victoria remembered the sensation of water filling her lungs and the stars in the sky above the water dimming until they were black. So how come she wakes up in a place that shouldn't be real, greeted by characters that insist they've been friends since they were children? And she's 17 now, not 21? And adopted!

Victoria Vanacore was not anybody special; the sixth child to the Viscount Vanacore, one of five daughters with three brothers. Though she was considered a candidate to be the diamond of the season, all of that comes crashing down when a man decides to take revenge on a stranger out on her...all because she danced with him. Regency, All-Human AU!

How could anyone when she had the Death Mark tattooed on her arm since birth and a grandfather who was considered the most evil wizard of all time?
